Pesto Eggs (New TikTok trend! Worth the hype?)

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Pesto (store‑bought or homemade; stir before using)
• 1 piece Large Egg (room temperature for even cooking)
• 1 teaspoon Olive Oil (extra‑virgin preferred for flavor)
• a pinch Salt (optional, to taste)
• a pinch Black Pepper (freshly ground if possible)

2. Warm the Pesto

   Add the pesto to the center of the pan, spreading it thinly. Heat for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.

3. Add the Egg

   Crack the egg directly into the middle of the warmed pesto, keeping the yolk intact.

4. Cook Until Whites Set

   Let the egg cook for about 1 minute, or until the whites are mostly set but the yolk is still runny.

   Time: PT1M

   Temperature: medium heat

5. Flip the Egg

   Using the spatula, carefully flip the egg over and cook for an additional 30 seconds for a slightly set yolk, or longer if you prefer fully cooked yolk.

   Time: PT30S

   Temperature: medium heat

6. Season and Serve

   Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, slide the egg onto a plate, and enjoy immediately.
